Here’s mine. It feels great, a little stiffer than the 295-BB like others have said.

Here’s the measurements converted to cm for those that prefer that.

Ordered!

Here are estimated measurements for size M, assuming the same delta % in cm and inches

My b/b shrunk quite noticeably after a 40 degree C wash. I’m curious about the shrinking potential of the i/b too.

Here are measurements pre/post a (very) hot soak and some fairly violent agitation.

In centimeters
Shoulders: 46 / 45.7 cm
Chest: 57 / 56 cm
Waist: 53.5 / 52.5 cm
Opening: 54.5 / 53 cm
Length: 76 / 75.5 cm
Sleeve: 66 / 65 cm

In inches
Shoulders: 18.1 / 18.0 in
Chest: 22.4 / 22.0 in
Waist: 21.1 / 20.7 in
Opening: 21.5 / 20.9 in
Length: 29.9 / 29.7 in
Sleeve: 26.0 / 25.6 in

So marginal but still noticeable, it feels even better now. Super stiff after drying.

In anticipation of the 19L jacket, here are some photos of my 19L 777’s. About 180 wears doing all kinds of stuff. This fabric is incredible. I’m having a hard time understanding why these aren’t more popular.

As for sizing, this batch seems to run a little on the larger side. I went for a size M, that fits perfectly after washing, but usually take L in IH tops (I even have a 12 oz Whipcord Type 3 in XL).

@Graham Does the shrinking mainly affect length, width, or both?

@jpvisual The OD is fully shrunk from the start. The fabric needs heat AND movement/agitation to shrink fully. Try it again, with as hot water you can get, and whisk it around and squeeze it as much as possible while soaking.

@jpvisual It’s not enough to just soak for maximum shrinking, it needs agitation too. If you want maximum shrinkage, use as hot tap water as you can get and agitate the jacket while soaking. Then put it in the washing machine on 40 degrees gentle cycle. You probably can use a low spin cycle too but I wouldn’t dare.

@Graham I wouldn’t mind that at all! The
IHSH-335-BLK is a banger to me too! Really like the black and navy as well.

@Graham Nice! It looks black and grey in that picture, at least on my phone. Please make a black and grey version too!

I’m no expert but that doesn’t look like 29”. Maybe they cut them at 29” and then did the hem? As for how they look and since you asked, they are a bit short for my preference.
